It somehow lessens the pressure — it removes the crippling burden of perfectionism — which is key for writing." Bingo! I realised this while writing for my blog but am still struggling. But then I guess you can't get much done if you're a perfectionist. "In fact, I recently realized my work sometimes improves when I'm in chaos.

I couldn't even imagine of reading the whole encyclopedia. Nice insight shared about career here. I wish to have the time and drive to read more books especially the boring encyclopedia. Not all have the mood to read facts, but you did it. I don't know where you get this motivation from. Excellent! I couldn't even imagine of reading the whole encyclopedia.

That's amazing you can remember anything after reading that much volume. Do you speed read? It seems the more I read the more my information muddles, and I don't know if things are from TV, my life, a friend, or books at times. You also scared me with the first story. I have blog I used just as a journal but it has my ideas in it. Now I want to put in under private. Hi,

Work = the coffee, tools = the mug. I another one who spends hours looking at the tools of how I can do things better, and what i should be doing, instead of just getting on with drinking the coffee. Isn't it easy to listen to all of these gurus and not believe that you have just as much smarts as them, but you're not writing a blog about it. JFDI!
